It was the late 70s but it was in the Bikelogy Catalogue . The seatpost was
generic. IIRC, Bikeology was owned by Richard Goldsmith. It later morphed in to Supergo which is now owned Performance. "Bob Schwartz" wrote in message ... Do you think she knows that the post has to be greased before insertion? For those of you that don't have the history in the US bike industry that Brian has... Many years ago (late 70s?) a US company called Weyless was in the bike business. One of their products was a seatpost. At one point they ran an ad with an attractive young lady holding a Weyless seatpost. The ad copy read "Remember, always grease before insertion." Thankfully they went out of business not long after. And many of us in the US have never forgotten to grease our seatposts before inserting them. Bob Schwartz |

Their clothing was really nice, except for the see through wool shorts. I think they had hubs which may well have been from Asia. |
